3. here are dems who won't support this bill:

"...The seven freshmen who did not sign their names to the bill represent some of the most competitive districts in the country.

Reps. Bobby Bright (D-Ala.), Walt Minnick (D-Idaho) and Parker Griffith (D-Ala.) all won with less than 52 percent of the vote. Reps. Frank Kratovil (D-Md.) and Tom Perriello (D-Va.) each required a recount to claim their seats. Only Reps. Glenn Nye (D-Va.) and Ann Kirkpatrick (D-Ariz.) won by comfortable margins."

and, other dems say grass roots support is needed:


"....One House Democratic aide blamed those who back EFCA for not building enough grassroots support for the measure in members’ districts....."
